EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ceres Inquiring for her Daughter" transports us to a mythical realm where the goddess Ceres embarks on a desperate search for her beloved daughter, Proserpine. The image is part of The Children's Hour: Stories from the Classics, published by the esteemed Waverley Book Company. In this vivid illustration by Charles Edmund Brock, we witness Ceres' anguish as she traverses a breathtaking landscape illuminated solely by her torch. Her flowing cloak billows behind her, symbolizing both her power and vulnerability in this quest to find Proserpine. The scene exudes an air of mystery and tension as satyrs accompany Ceres on her journey. These mythical creatures add an element of fantastical intrigue to the composition. Meanwhile, a fawn gracefully follows alongside them, perhaps offering solace amidst their daunting task. Brock's masterful depiction captures not only the physical beauty but also the emotional depth of these mythological characters. Through his artistry, he brings to life Ovid's timeless tale of love and loss between mother and daughter. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print from our private collection, we are reminded of the enduring power that mythology holds over our collective imagination. It serves as a testament to humanity's eternal fascination with stories that explore themes such as sacrifice, resilience, and ultimately reunion against all odds.
